Information we collect

Email address and name: only if you choose to submit them through the early-reader signup form (your name is optional), together with the date and time you gave consent to receive launch updates.

Technical information: your IP address is processed temporarily to protect the signup form from abuse (rate limiting). It is not stored with your email address.

Browser storage: we store your cookie-banner choice in your browser's local storage so we do not ask you again. We do not use advertising cookies on this website.
